1992 Toyota Corolla LSX review from North America
"Superb, would recommend it without body damage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I received the car, I found that there was bondo over all four wheelwells, but after my friend and I ripping it apart, its very extensive rust damage and it seems to plague all cars of the same type/year.
A/C has gone at 274000 but may just need recharge.
General comments?
I was surprised with the performance of the LSX's 4A-FE engine. I still plan on adding some modifications to it (intake, possible supercharger if I can find a small one) but until you hit 90-100km/hr you don't need the boost.
Previous cars were an 04 Echo and an 01 Focus, I find that the Corolla has more interior than both, but less trunk which is a good trade off.
